On Tuesday, Disney Theatrical Productions and Cameron Mackintosh announced that the hit musical will end its six-year-plus run on March 3. The Disney stage adaptation, which first premiered in London, has been attended by nearly 4 million New York theatergoers to date, and launched a national tour that runs through June of this year. And licensing for professional domestic productions will begin this year.

But the New Amsterdam Theatre, Poppins' Broadway home, shouldn't be empty for long. A new production of another Disney property, Aladdin, is expected to arrive in the spring of 2014. An early version of Aladdin, based on the 1992 film, was introduced in Seattle in the summer of 2011, but it's expected that the Broadway model will be substantially revamped.
